The Republican Senatorial Con-
vention In Logan, last Saturday,
was a very tame affair. The
Ringsters of Athens and Fairfield
had gone into combination before
the Convention met, and agreed
to ignore Hooking and cut the
political throat of her favorite
candidate, Bob Price.
| Gen. Grosvenor gave some life
to tie meeting by making one of
his considerate, mild speeches.
He denounced the Democratic
party as a combination of thieves
and scoundrels. He referred 10
Senator WEIGH as typical repre-
sentative of the late Democratic
Legislature, saying his conduct
was cowardly, disgraceful and
corrupt; that the Hooking Val.
ley was disgraced by such repre-
sentation, and much more of the
same sort. General Grosvenors
speech provoked resentment from
the Democrats present, and gave
us to understand that the coming
campaign was to be one of abuse,
and that Democrats are to be de-
nounced as unworthy to hold Of
flee Or take part in the determl-
nation of the affairs of this gov
ernment.
Gen. Grosvenor's speech.which
we would be glad to publish, and
which he promised to furnish US,
but has not done so, will show to
Democrats how they are con-
temptuously regarded, and will
learn TO us the lesson that, as
against the common and alb lsive
enemy, Democrats must stand
together.
The General, in his speech, al
so tried to work off some old
chestnuts on the wool tariff, but
he forgot to say that his IDOL
John Sherman, was the man
whose influence and vote reduced
the tariff. Yet he endorses John
Sherman.
He also keynoted on the flags, |
bringing out applause from Pur-
sell and Brooke. Yet he failed |
to state that the order for the re-
turn of the captured Rebel flags
was made by Gen. Drum, Re-
publican, who in his official ca
pacity imposed on the President,
but who was promptly rebuked
by The President resembling the
order. Gen. Grosvenor knew all
This, but he didn't want to tell
all he knew. His party through
AdJutant General Drum, a Re
publican, had made a political
The point was TO make
he President responsible, just as
len. Grosvenor's enemies try to
lold him responsible for the bad
pelling of his Secretary who
writes out his dictated letters.
The Rebel flags were mostly
in the death struggle of
he war by Democrats under
Democratic leadership, and will J
'e kept in Democratic guardian !,
hip. t
The stuff stolen by Republican
amp followers, provost marshals !
nd Bosenweins, will be sent s
ack to the rightful owners. ?
The General also wants high
rejection. This, he argues, is a T
ood thing. In this we agree
nth him. But why not protect
be working man, as well as the v
orporation?
The man who oG-bears boards
saw mill gets as high wages e
S the men who go into the dark 1
ess of the mines, or the stalwart L
ellows who blister in the glow
the furnace. Give the work Z
lg men a show-a mite of Pro-
sction's blessings. Don't give r
II to the syndicate and the cor
actors of laborers from Congo, ,
ally, Hungary and Poland.
Griswold of Lancaster, Willard 3
